Exercise 7: Test Tool (order acknowledgment)
Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Use the test tool
• Use IDoc display to trace IDocs
Business Example
XYZ Ltd., is a leading car manufacturer. It has recently implemented the EDI Integration Technology for the sales and procurement transactions with its business partners. You want to test the following as soon as possible:
• Sending purchase orders
• Receiving order acknowledgments
Task 1:
1. Create a purchase order for methanol, material number SH-100, from the vendor T-BILnn by selecting Logistics→Materials Management
→Purchasing→Purchase Order→ Create→ Vendor Known (transaction ME21).
2. As a member of the purchasing department, you belong to purchasing organization 1000 and purchasing group 001. The methanol is required for plant 1100 (Berlin). Company code is 1000 (IDES AG 1000).
3. After you have successfully entered the data, select Header→Messages from the menu in the item overview to check the proposal for the output of the purchase order via Message Control. If dispatch time 4 is selected, an IDoc for this purchase order is generated when the data is saved.
4. Change to Purchase Order→Display . By selecting System→Links the IDoc that has just been generated is displayed.

Task 2:
1. You can use the purchase order IDoc generated as a template for the inbound order acknowledgment you need to test.
2. From the initial node of the IDoc Interface, choose Test→Test Tool.
Choose Existing IDoc and call the value help, in which you search with the recipient partner number. Choose Create.
3. Select the control record (the first record) by clicking with the mouse and change the following fields:
Recipient, Port:
SAP<SID>
Sender, Port: PORT-nn
Sender, Partner number: T-BILnn Sender, Partner type: LI Sender, Partner function: LF
Message type: ORDRSP
Choose Continue .
4. The order acknowledgment should contain at least the order number of the vendor. Therefore, you need to create a corresponding segment.
Copy the segment E1EDK02 and change the following fields:
Qualifier: 002
Document: For example, BC620-Test-4711
Choose Continue to close the dialog box.
5. You need to assign the acknowledgment of your vendor to the item.
Create a corresponding segment E1EDP02 after the item segment E1EDP01 as a subsegment. Maintain the following fields:
Qualifier: 001
Document: Order number, in the segment E1EDK02, qualifier 001, field document
Document item: Document item, in the segment E1EDP01, field document item

Choose Continue .
6. Choose Standard Inbound and then Continue .
7. The system changes your original order. You can display the changed order by selecting Logistics→Materials Management→Purchasing
→Purchase Order→Display . If you double-click the item, the acknowledgment number that is transferred will be displayed. By selecting System→Links from the item overview, you can display the IDoc linked to the outbound purchase order and the IDoc linked to the inbound acknowledgment.
<SID> is the three-character system ID, such as ID3.
nn is the number of your exercise group. This number can range from 1 to 18.
